TOP5 PETS HAS MOVED

Dreadful sorry about the intrusive Tripod ads. We have pulled up stakes and moved to an ad-free environment*.

Join us in our new space by closing the panel on the left then clicking this link:

http://coldwetnose.ws

If the unwanted sidebar window on the left opens up along with it, you can get rid of the offending portion by clicking the "x" in its upper right-hand corner. Click on the actual window on the left, not on the explanatory graphic below.

click on x to close Tripod window

 
* Ok, there are a few small ads at the bottom of the main page, BUT Top5 Pets directly benefits from them. We keep them unobtrusive.

               The Top 10 Reasons Santa Doesn't Use 
                Other Animals to Pull His Sleigh


10> Sloths: "Yes, Virginia, Santa flies all the way around the
    world in just one decade!"

 9> Bulls: Lethal choice for a man who dresses all in red.

 8> Elephants: And you thought *reindeer* crap in the rain
    gutters was a bitch.

 7> Bats: Sonar equipped? Check.
    Nocturnal flyers? Check.
    Suck children's blood? Uh-oh.

 6> Sea Monkeys: By the time Santa gets them all harnessed
    they've already frozen to death.

 5> Hound Dogs: "On Buford! On Bubba! On Cletus and Earnhardt!"

 4> Unicorns: Rudolph with your nose so-- OUCH!

 3> Lemmings: Before Santa can get back up the chimney they've
    all leaped to their deaths.

 2> Bears: Gifts seldom delivered before spring.


           and the Number 1 Reason Santa Doesn't Use 
              Other Animals to Pull His Sleigh...


 1> Baboons: Provide as much light as Rudolph, but *you* try
    flying with eight red butts glowing in your face.
